Spinning reel transfer

ABSTRACT

A spinning reel transfer mechanism in which a mechanical holder for spinning reel is made of an iron or aluminum cylindrical element supported on a frame shaped to fit the contour of one&#39;&#39;s body, and is attached to a belt for being buckled around the body. From a lower end of a critical support frame, there is a belt or cloth line which is disposed for being connected with the belt at the rear of the person wearing it, and thus provides means by which a reel is placed on an extension to the mechanical holder leaving the rod free in one hand, if desired, to facilitate casting after the manner of a fly rod.

ABSTRACT: A spinning reel transfer mechanism in which a mechanical holder for spinning reel is made of an iron or aluminum cylindrical element supported on a frame shaped to fit the contour of ones body, and is attached to abelt for being buckled around the body. From a lower end of a critical sup port frame, there is a belt or cloth line which is disposed for being connected with the belt at the rear of the person wearing it, and thus provides means by which a reel is placed on an extension to the mechanical holder leaving the rod free in one hand, if desired, to facilitate casting after the manner of a fly rod.

. srmuruo REEL TRANSFER.

r The present invention relates-to an improved rodsupport for a reel and a butt of the rod which is receivable within a means or may be transferred from therod to the extension on I A furtherobject of the inyention -is1to provide anextension telescopically attached thereto and aJline which carried by the rod used for casting the line with fly or bait thereon.

V The aboveand other objects and advantages of the inventionwill become apparent upon full considerationof the following detailed description and accompanying drawings in which:

FlGfl shows a front elevation view of a preferred embodi ment of the invention; and

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional. view taken along line 2-2 of FIG.

Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a spinning reel transfer apparatus including a spinning reel 10 shown in dotted line in FIG. 2, the spinning reel being supportably mounted from a cylindrical element 14 which is angularly disposed to project a fishing rod 16 mounted in telescopic relation thereto, the fishing rod .16 being conventionally constructed and disposed to be positioned in an inclined relation for conventional use.

Therod l6 telescopically engages within the cylindrical elewhichis connected to one s'belt for supporting a reelwhich is.

ment l4, and the reel is mounted upon the cylindrical element by clamps l8, 18. The end portion of the cylindrical ele ment 14 is flattened and turned to be mounted upon a bolt 20 since the flattened portion has an aperture ZZpassing therethrough for receiving said bolt 20. The head portion of the bolt passes through an aperture 24 of an arcuate transverse support member 28 having its ends connected to a waist belt 30, the waist belt being worn by the user. The bolt also I The bolt 20 extends centrally through-each of said arcuate support member and said vertical supportmember. When the head of the bolt is adjacent to ones body,-the'threaded portion projects outwardly and there is a nut 42 which is threadedly tightened and secured thereon to hold the mem" berstogether. v

At the lower portion or area ofthe vertical support member, there is'an aperture orhole 44 to receive a support line 46 which extends about the body portion of the user and connects with a rear portion of the belt 30.

A line-50 maybe wound upon the reel l0. and the line 50 may be used for casting with'fly or bait thereon and when casting is done. therod 16 may be placed within the cylindrical element 14 in its telescopic relation.

Additional embodiments of the invention in this specificatio n'will occur to others and therefore it is intended that the scope of the invention be limitedonly by the appended claims and not by the embodiments described hereinabove. Ac-

cordingly, reference should be made to the following claims in determining the full scope of the invention. V

' lclaim:

l. A spinning reel transfer apparatus for use as a mechanical holder for a spinning reel comprising:

an arcuate transverse support member having its ends connected to a waist belt to be worn by a user, a vertical support frame transversely engaging said arcuate support member and having a contoured surface to conform to the users body to which it may apply; and

a bolt extending centrally through each of said arcuate support member and said vertical support member, a rodreceiving cylindrical element angularly disposed to project a fishingl rod in an inclined relation for use, a rod adapted to te escoprcally engage with said cylindrical eleis pro- 

1. A spinning reel transfer apparatus for use as a mechanical holder for a spinning reel comprising: an arcuate transverse support member having its ends connected to a waist belt to be worn by a user, a vertical support frame transversely engaging said arcuate support member and having a contoured surface to conform to the user''s body to which it may apply; and a bolt extending centrally through each of said arcuate support member and said vertical support member, a rod-receiving cylindrical element angularly disposed to project a fishing rod in an inclined relation for use, a rod adapted to telescopically engage with said cylindrical element, a reel being mounted upon said cylinder element, and an end portion of said cylindrical element being flattened to be mounted upon said bolt.
 2. The invention according to claim 1 wherein a nut is provided on the bolt.
 3. The invention according to claim 2 wherein the lower end of said vertical support has an aperture to receive a support line.
